DESCRIPTION

· The SIG102 transceiver integrates data and power over the powerline, removing the necessity for separate control and data wires.
· It features eight configurable I/O ports that support PWM output, ADC input, and digital I/O functionalities.
· Designed for networks of sensors and actuators over DC powerlines, it is cost-effective for applications like motor or light control and sensor reading.
· The device includes a UART multiplex signaling modem to handle noisy powerline conditions at bitrates up to 115.2K bit/s.
· Available in a compact QFN 48 (7x7 mm) package, it supports a master-slave network configuration with up to 255 slave devices.

FEATURES

· Capable of controlling up to 255 I/O slaves as a master.
· Operates as a standalone slave with 8 configurable digital or analog I/O pins.
· Ensures robust communication over noisy DC powerlines.
· Supports selectable bitrates from 9.6kbit/s to 115.2kbit/s.
· Allows multiple networks to operate over a single powerline with 251 selectable carrier frequencies between 5MHz and 30MHz.
· Communicates across a wide range of DC voltages.
· Features a small footprint 48-pin QFN package.
· Includes sleep modes for reduced power consumption.
· Provides I/O Watchdog protection for enhanced reliability.
